Rocker-Billy's International Adventures
. My name is billy and i am a rocker by trade. The pun gets old quick. 22 years old, been on the road for the past 7. Not quite english and certainly not american. The world is my country, and Hendrix and punk rock are my soundtrack. My favourite place to be is either on stage or in the forest. Just finished touring with adam ant and eagerly await more gigs. I like people with talent and good spirits.
You can axe me a question?
Better way to get ahold of/stalk me

sad. sad that it’s come to this and that people think its cool.

Did you know?
White American males constitute only 33% of the population. Yet, they occupy approximately:
- 80% of tenured positions in higher education
- 80% of the House of Representatives
- 80-85% of the U.S. Senate
- 92%of Forbes 400 executive CEO-level positions
- 90% of athletic team owners
- 97.7% of U.S. presidents
And then they flip out when they’re not allowed in the Women’s Tent.
This shit is what I hate about a lot of “radical” communities. People need to realize theres a big fuckin difference between those bastard whiteys running the countries, and the white working class. Why the fuck does it even have to be white this and white that. The difference is not between what colours we are, but what class we are. If you’re a working man or woman it doesnt matter fuck all what colour you are. Yet of course if you’re white and male you must be tarred with the same brush as the bastards who are actually oppressing you as well as with all the other demographics. fuck it. keep us out of your tent, stay trendy, even though your division and desire for exclusivity is actually hurting your (and our) cause even more.

Corporate Profits Have Skyrockets Over The Last 3 Years
After dipping during the Great Recession, corporate profits have now skyrocketed past their pre-recession levels, Business Insider’s Joe Weisenthal notes.
After-tax profits and corporate profits as a share of gross domestic product (GDP) are now higher than they were in the middle of the last decade, after a similar vertical spike. Despite massive profit gains, however, corporations are adding more jobs overseas than they are in the United States and paying one of the lowest effective tax rates in the developed world.
This shit needs to fuckin stop. Do they owe us a living? COURSE THEY FUCKIN DO
I don’t find this LOL OMG ZOMBIES shit really all that funny.
Like, an old fella who wasn’t really any bother to anyone is fighting for his life, right?
and people, mentally ill people under extreme amounts of stress, snap. Sometimes it’s a quiet thing in the dark corner of their subconscious. Other times it’s public, it’s violent, it’s loud, and it takes other innocents with it. I cannot stress that enough, that these people are sick and that something, somewhere along the line, utterly failed them.
Sometimes it’s drug-induced. Sometimes it isn’t. There is really no lowest common denominator, and it happens all the time. Everywhere.
and I swear to you, once you’re having to tie someone down to their stretcher because their condition has advanced to the point where they are a danger to themselves and others, you will no longer find this shit funny either.
What happened to Ronald Poppo and Rudy Eugene was a tragedy. Fullstop.
That it’s become some crass meme for zombie-obsessed chuckleheads is, sadly, more typical of just how profoundly fucked-up and disconnected we are as a society than anything that happened under that causeway in Miami.

Virtually every time the U.S. fires a missile from a drone and ends the lives of Muslims, American media outlets dutifully trumpet in
headlines that the dead were ”militants” – even though those media outlets literally do not have the slightest idea of who was actually killed. They simply cite always-unnamed “officials” claiming that the dead were “militants.” It’s the most obvious and inexcusable form of rank propaganda: media outlets continuously propagating a vital claim without having the slightest idea if it’s true.
This practice continues even though key Obama officials have been caught lying, a term used advisedly, about how many civilians they’re killing. I’ve written and said many times before that in American media discourse, the definition of “militant” is any human being whose life is extinguished when an American missile or bomb detonates (that term was even used when Anwar Awlaki’s 16-year-old American son, Abdulrahman, was killed by a U.S. drone in Yemen two weeks after a drone killed his father, even though nobody claims the teenager was anything but completely innocent: “Another U.S. Drone Strike Kills Militants in Yemen”).
This morning, the New York Times has a very lengthy and detailed article about President Obama’s counter-Terrorism policies based on interviews with “three dozen of his current and former advisers.” I’m writing separately about the numerous revelations contained in that article, but want specifically to highlight this one vital passage about how the Obama administration determines who is a “militant.” The article explains that Obama’s rhetorical emphasis on avoiding civilian deaths “did not significantly change” the drone program, because Obama himself simply expanded the definition of a “militant” to ensure that it includes virtually everyone killed by his drone strikes. Just read this remarkable passage:
Mr. Obama embraced a disputed method for counting civilian casualties that did little to box him in. It in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent.
Counterterrorism officials insist this approach is one of simple logic: people in an area of known terrorist activity, or found with a top Qaeda operative, are probably up to no good. “Al Qaeda is an insular, paranoid organization — innocent neighbors don’t hitchhike rides in the back of trucks headed for the border with guns and bombs,” said one official, who requested anonymity to speak about what is still a classified program.
This counting method may partly explain the official claims of extraordinarily low collateral deaths. In a speech last year Mr. Brennan, Mr. Obama’s trusted adviser, said that not a single noncombatant had been killed in a year of strikes. And in a recent interview, a senior administration official said that the number of civilians killed in drone strikes in Pakistan under Mr. Obama was in the “single digits” — and that independent counts of scores or hundreds of civilian deaths unwittingly draw on false propaganda claims by militants.
But in interviews, three former senior intelligence officials expressed disbelief that the number could be so low. The C.I.A. accounting has so troubled some administration officials outside the agency that they have brought their concerns to the White House. One called it “guilt by association” that has led to “deceptive” estimates of civilian casualties.
“It bothers me when they say there were seven guys, so they must all be militants,” the official said. “They count the corpses and they’re not really sure who they are.”
